Commentary and analysis on American politics, culture, and national identity, U.S. foreign policy and international relations, and the state of education
- from a neoconservative perspective! - Keeping an eye on the communist-left so you don't have to!

Matthews: And that’s why you, Pat Buchanan, although you are a libertarian in many ways, you do not ... no, you’re a nationalist actually ... you are not what you like to call, derisively, a “democratist.”

Buchanan: No, I don’t believe there’s a great salvation in the political process at all. I believe in different, far different things. I mean I put democracy far down the line, in the ... I think a devoutly Christian, conservative, traditionalist country, even if it’s a monarchy, is fine with me.

How does a bigot like Pat Buchanan Stay on TV? The Racist, Holocaust revisionst anti-Semite made is claim on Morning Joe today, implying that Bibi Netanyahu and the neocons were helping the protests on Iran.

Professor, you asked why MSNBC keeps someone vile as Mr. Buchanan on the air? Because he is what they believe to be the face of conservatism. And, it is not a good face. Pat Buchanan is no longer a serious thinker, just a showboat and on a network that does its level best to discredit conservatism every chance it gets.

As a Conservative, I have never had much respect for Buchanan. Now I have even less. The next thing you know he will find Obama's penchant for Czars, isn't that an indication, a good thing. I guess one form of dictatorship is like another to the likes of Buchanan.

An eloquent defender of the real America is reviled as "racist" -- why, this man opposes Open Borders! -- and sounds the alarm about the inevitable loss of liberty resulting from the Neocon agenda of endless war, and is denounced as "un-American."

There is nothing even remotely democratic about North Korea... and if you consider Great Britain to be the perfect example of the conservative ideal, then I want nothing to do with your brand of conservatism.

But even that's not the real point -- loyalty is not to an ideology, but to a cultural tradition, including the religious faith and political ideals of what constitutes liberty -- that's what human beings will fight to defend. That's the essense of real conservatism, as opposed to the statist philosophy of the Neocons.
